AGU, time to cut ties with the fossil fuel industry

American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Enough is enough! Ask the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the world’s largest organization of climate and Earth scientists, to finally break ties with the deceptive and anti-science fossil fuel industry.

If you are a scientist, please sign our open letter (text below).

Global heating is a clear and present danger to life on Earth. The primary cause of global heating is fossil fuels. The fossil fuel industry has colluded for decades to systematically mislead the public and to block climate action at all levels of government.

Therefore, I call on the AGU to pledge not to take funding from the fossil fuel industry and to publicly state the truth of the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long efforts to spread anti-scientific misinformation.
